The 2010 DSA Graduation trip to Europe is going to a lot of cool places! Starting about the 16th of June, we will have 11 days to see Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, and England. We will fly into Amsterdam, and mostly do city tours, but will take a canal tour, visit the Anne Frank House, and the Red Lite district!

We will over-night in Brussels, and visit the Guildhall area, including the incredible chocolate stores near the famous Manikin Pis statue!

In Paris we will visit Versailles, cruise on the Seine, visit the Eiffel Tower, sit in cafes on the left bank, see Notre Dame, visit the Louvre, climb Montmartre (& perhaps get our portrait drawn!).

In Engand, we will tour london, see the guards change, visit Wndsor castle (& say “Hi” to the queen!), go to a West End show, visit Bath & Stonehenge, Cruise on the Thames, and ride the London Eye. We will visit the Tower of London, and see the crown Jewels. Perhaps we can take the Jack-the-ripper Tour, walk the embankment, or see the inside of a few pubs!

This is a great way to end your high school career, and a great break to take before you embark on the rigors of College Life!

We have plenty of room right now, so everybody can come. This trip is for adults only (though I guess you could bring your litle sister if you had to!), but travelers do not have to be DSA graduates. Adult rules apply.

The 2010 DSA Spring Break trip to England, Ireland, & Wales  takes place the first 10 days of April, 2010. We will fly to England, tour London, visit Windsor Castle, spend 2 days being tourists, then head for N. Wales by bus, vising Oxford & Stratford-upon-Avon on the way. After a night in Wales, we wll take the Ferry to Ireland, spending 2 days around Dublin, then heading for the County Kerry area where we will spend 2 more days before heading home.

This is a great trip, and there are still places available. You will need to sign up your student before the end of the year, if possible, to be sure of a place on the bus, but we will try to take late applicants! We want everybody who wants to to be able to go.

Here is the magnificent Ms. Rose on her last trip to Paris, telling us about that weird tower in the background!

Right now we have 2 teachers, Ms. Rose (7th grade) and Mr. Du Bose (High School) as well as several other adults going. With students we have a total of 21 travelers. Parents, siblings, and non-DSA friends are welcome on this trip.
